nAfter taking over the management of his territory, Maximus quickly realized that many issues needed to be addressed.

nThe lack of food and the security of the citizens were just some of the problems that he had to solve.

nMaximus, quickly coordinated with the local officials to arrange for the citizens to be more orderly and for the guards to patrol the streets more frequently at night.

nHowever, the lack of food was a major concern. Maximus knew that he had to find a solution quickly.

nHe decided to quickly convert some gold coins to buy cheap foods in the system.

nAnd pretend to open his emergency granary so the official will not doubt where he got the food.

nAfter all its was common for noble to store large amount of food incase of emergentcy

nHe knew that this would not be a long-term solution, but it would help in the short term.𝑜𝑽xt.𝗈𝑚

n…

nMore than a week passed of Maximus dealing with the city’s issues.

nAs Maximus strolled through the city, he remembered the criteria of the system for choosing a partner.

nThe System is quite demanding requiring a fit value of more than 90 points to activate the function of the system

nThe system he possessed could scan people and show their status, but so far, he hasn’t found anyone with a fit value of at least 90.

nIf he could only settle for less, he could become the father and the husband of the world. by then he would be god the next day

nSearching the city while walking the people greeted him as he greeted them back.

nAfter a week the food shortage was quickly plunged with money which quickly solve the problem.

nRegarding security, the situation is still being resolved, but there has been a slight improvement.

nAfter hours of strolling, he returned to the castle feeling dejected. The highest fit value he had found was only 83, and what he needed is at least a 90.

nMaximus found Gerald in his study, reviewing reports and documents.

nThey exchanged pleasantries and talked about the various events that had taken place in the past week.

nThey discussed the progress of the city’s reconstruction efforts and the improvement of the living conditions of the citizens.

nAs they talked, an idea suddenly struck Maximus. He thought about using the network to assist him in his search.

n“Gerald, as you know, I am the only heir to our noble household. If something were to happen to me, our territory would be left without an heir. Therefore, I have decided to take action to select the future mistress of the house.” Maximus explained to his butler in a calm and measured tone.

nGerald was surprised by his master’s sudden decision, but he listened attentively as Maximus explained his plan.

nHe understood the importance of having an heir for the noble household, especially now that Maximus was the only remaining member of his family.

n“That is a wise decision, which noble house do you think is suitable young master?” Gerald asked.

n“Uh, for now just send an invitation to see if anyone is willing. Before that, however, look for our territory to look for mistresses to quickly fill the harem.” Maximus replied somewhat blushing.

n“Oh, yes young master I will arrange it immediately” Gerald replied feeling that his young master is already at that age.

nMaximus nodded, satisfied with the outcome of their conversation.

nWith that, Maximus and Gerald parted ways, each with their thoughts and concerns.

nIn the coming days, Maximus was presented with a list of candidates that scour through the city, each with their unique qualities and skills.

nHe carefully reviewed the list of candidates, taking note of very important details.

nAfter a thorough assessment, he held a personal interview with each of them.

nAs he interviewed each candidate, he found that most of them had a comprehensive score of above 80, which was impressive.

nHowever, there was only one candidate who caught his attention.

nIt was Hazel a daughter of a farmer. With a light brown hair color and perfectly shaped body curves.

nShe had a fair complexion, her skin was also slightly tanned due to her work on the farm. Which is just his type no wonder the fit is more than 90.

nName: Hazel

nStrength: Tier 0

nPotential: Rank 0

nFit: 91

nAfter interviewing all the candidates, Maximus ended the selection. Before he got up to his seat the door opened coming in was Gerald.

n“Young master, I got a letter from Baron Francis,” Gerald said as he handed the letter.

nBaron Fancis was just a newly promoted noble and didn’t have a territory. which is why he needed a marriage alliance.

n…

nErica, the daughter of Baron Francis, sat anxiously in the carriage on her way to meet her betrothed, Maximus.

nShe had heard little about him and knew nothing of his personality, likes, or dislikes.

nHer heart raced with nerves as she anticipated what type of person he is.

nAs they approached the city, they were greeted by the guards of Count Maximus.

nThey escorted the carriage through the winding streets, which were bustling with activity.

nErica peered out of the carriage window, taking in the sights and sounds of this new place. She felt out of place and overwhelmed.

nWhen they finally arrived at Maximus’ castle, Erica was very nervous.

nShe stepped out of the carriage, her heart pounding with anticipation.

nAs she entered the castle, she was met by Maximus himself.

nHe was tall and handsome, with piercing blue eyes that seemed to gaze straight into her soul.

nErica felt herself blush as she looked at him.

nName: Erica

nStrength: Tier 0

nPotential: Rank 0

nFit: 93

nMaximus was captivated by Erica’s beauty, and he couldn’t help but feel drawn to her.

nAs they began to talk, they got to know each other, Erica realized that Maximus was not at all like she had imagined.

nHe was kind, gentle, and intelligent, with a great sense of humor.

nErica found herself opening up to him, sharing stories and laughter.

n…

nThe wedding ceremony was somewhat grand, With guests from merchants in the city and Baron Francis and his friends.

nMaximus was dressed in his finest attire, a regal outfit befitting of a nobleman of his stature.

nErica and Hazel were also wearing stunning gowns, with their long hair pulled back into an elegant braid.

nAfter the ceremony, the guests were treated to a lavish feast, with food and wine aplenty.

n…

nThe system beeped as Maximus woke up, reminding him of the daily gold point output from his successful marriages with Erica and Hazel.

nHe smiled, pleased with the steady income.

nIn terms of currency, one gold coin was equivalent to 100 silver coins, and 10,000 copper.

nAnd his treasury only amounted to a few hundred gold coins which he used for the city’s food.

nFortunately, the system could generate 2 gold points which are equivalent to gold coins. In just a few days he could buy the Meditation method.
